Hi, We are thinking of moving from London to Beaconsfield, one of the (small) downsides as a London commuter would be that the trains to Beaconsfield are so old and horrible. Does this forum know when they will be replaced with something new? Thanks,

If I wanted to ‘wave someone off’ on an Avanti Pendolino service exEUS, is there a legit way to do this? Can I buy a platform ticket? Eg help them on board with their heavy bags

I see from this FOI request, there a £0.00 minimum balance required to touch-in at Heathrow Express platforms: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0638-2223 What would happen when one touches out Paddington? Would the Oyster card...

Hi, If I want to travel in 1st class from Wilmslow to Manchester on Avanti, what ticket is best to buy? There is no 1st class fare available point-to-point. Thanks,

mods note - split from here. Has nobody mention the privacy aspect yet? With an eTickets, private companies know exactly your full travel history who you are, your home address, exactly what time you travel, etc etc. Paper tickets can be anonymous.

So I had the return portion of a Retford to London Super Offpeak Return. I wanted to use it to travel London to Gainsborough Lea Road via Doncaster. Two tales of woe trying to get an excess: 1. King's Cross Ticket Office Got to King's Cross in good time so went to the ticket office: Me: "Hi...

Hi, We are booked on the Eurostar service from Amsterdam to London departing 16:47 on 15th May. I see that this service is no longer available to buy - in any of the three travel classes. Yet the seat map is not full at all. Should I be worried? Anyone know why tickets are no longer available?

Looking at Paddington to Truro dep 1304 1 June. Advance Single is £93.60 Super Off-Peak Single is £74.60! Why would GWR load advance fares that are more expensive than a flexible refundable ticket?!

Seems strange to see a blank wall and all the electrical outlets blocked off! I wonder if they will be replaced?

Hi, My friend informs me that GWR guards have no way of knowing whether you touched in or not with contactless, as they lack the equipment to do so. He is hesitant to upgrade with Weekend First or Seatfrog as a result. I’ve found other London TOC RPIs have contactless readers. What’s the...

Hi, I was due to travel today on the (now cancelled) 16:20 EUS-MAC. I hold a seat reservation for this service and an off-peak return. I would now like to travel on an earlier service, do I need a seat reservation in order to board? Avanti do not appear to let you reserve seats online like...

Hi, I’ve noticed the TVMs at HOH and the Chiltern website only seem to want to sell me NRE Card discount HOH-AYS at weekends? Any idea why?

Spied one of these outside RDG yesterday, 'ironing board' seat covers removed from what I could see. Is it getting better seats? Or just more luggage racks, etc like the Gatwick Express? Anything better for first class? Or just the same 2-2 seating with antimacassars? I will miss the 1-1...

Hi, I noticed I had scooped up a leftover return ticket portion in the machine tray from a previous customer. Have already left the station in question by train. Do I hand it in to a guard on board? Would this do any good? In theory I suppose they could match up with the outbound ticket number...

Hi, Anyone know why these are being replaced with 387s? As a regular user of them in 'Business First' class with their unique 1-1 seating, surely the new 387 config will be a significant downgrade? What will happen to them once they are replaced?

(I know, I know, I know. I regret the mTicket now. Was running late to Paddington coming from the West car park and didn't have time to schlep to the ticket office and back). I have an anytime day return PAD to Basingstoke, Trainline mTicket, that I wish to O/D excess the return portion of...

Hi, I see DB will sell be an Aachen-Brussels-London ticket for 99eur, whereas the same Brussels-London service on Eurostar.com is £122. Is there anything wrong with just buying the DB Spezial fare and boarding in Brussels?

Hi, I plan to travel to Oxford on Saturday, and would like to buy 1st class advance tickets in each direction. However - I only wish to travel on HST/class 800 services. I most definitely want to avoid the dreaded evil Turbos! Is there an easy way to find out which services these are online...

Hi, I have a friend commuting every week between Wigan and London Euston, in VT 1st class. A regular split in Rugby helps, for the trains that stop there. But for the fast trains that only stop in Warrington (e.g. the 07:09 morning southbound service arriving Euston 09:07), no 'normal'...
